Was Told I Don't Qualify For Restylane Below The Eyes, What Are My Options? I have very sunken eyes which have become musch worse over time, you wouldn't recognise me from a year ago? and i get tension headaches I went to a plastic surgeoun and he said the fat under my eyes is fine and I wouldnt qualify for restylane, what are my options?? i also had upper blepharoplasty 18 months ago and i think too much fat was taken off , please see photo

A: Lower lid augmentation with Restylane or Fat Injections

The photo you sent does show deeply set eyes, but in some cases like yours I have used about 1 syringe of Restylane per lower lid. Some physicians do not have experience with using large volumes of filler in the lower lids, and is probably why your surgeon was reluctant to do so.

An alternative would be fat augmentation. Fat is harvested from your abdomen, or thighs and micro-injected to your lower lids and midface. You may want to seek opinions from other surgeons in your area who have more experience with this procedure.

Radiesse/Restylane Overfill I have small muscle/fat(?)pooches above the corners of my lips.I had radiesse to blend them 6 mo. ago.He put too much along the sides of mouth leaving long bulges - and it hasnt gone down!5 dys ago restylane was added under corners of lips and bottom of bulges to smooth.

The Restalyn looks unnatural where its placed and it seems to be a pillar for Radiesse now increasing bulge. Should I have restylane dissolved and some radiesse surgically removed by incision through the iside of cheek? Stressed

A: Restylane and Radiesse Overfill

Hyaluronidase is the best option to reverse or remove hyaluronic acid fillers (Restylane, Juvederm). Hyaluronidase is given via a small injection to remove Restylane, with results typically within days. The other option is to wait and allow the Restylane to slowly dissolve with time. Radiesse cannot be reversed, and surgically removal typically may cause more damage than improvement. One must wait until the Radiesse dissolves slowly.

Speak with your Restylane injector to help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.

Does Restylane Cause Acne or is This a Coincidence? I had Restylane for nasolabial lines about 6 months ago and ever since I have had acne breakouts constantly along those lines now with pretty constant redness as well.

The dermatologist did the 'ferning' technique so there were many many injections on each side. I have hormonal acne breakouts but had never had any problems in that area before. Is this a reaction to the Restylane or having so many injections in such a small area? It is extrememly frustrating and I am reluctant to have this again.

A: Restylane and Acne Flare-Up

Restylane is unlikely to cause facial acne. Acne is an inflammatory disease of the skin, and any irritation such as multiple needs injections might contribute to flare-up. One option to consider, if the acne is really troubling you, is to remove or reverse the Restylane. This reversal may be achieved with hyaluronidase, given via small injection. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a specialist help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.

	“A Doctor You Can Trust - Herndon, VA” Was unhappy with my deepening tear troughs. Was unhappy with my tear troughs and under eye hollowness that gave me a tired appearance all the time. I was happy to find out that I only needed half a syringe to achieve desired results. Even better news is that the injections lasted almost a year before I felt they needed refreshing. Since I had saved for the full syringe price, decided to... more
	“Great results! - Arlington, VA” I wanted to look younger. I chose his practice because he was very professional and thorough in his evaluation. Plus, he answered all of my questions. I never felt rushed. more
	“Restalyn Got Rid of my Dark Circles...” I had the worst dark circles under my eyes from a very young age. Like most women, I would look in the mirror and pull and push the skin to try and figure out what would help. I pushed up and thought," if this were there, it would look great. Then it came to me, filler! I had also seen the NIP?TUCK episode where they filled in hollows on a man with HIV and thought...o more
	“OK with the Results, Hated the Price” I wanted to do something about the drooping sides of my mouth. The doctor did a great job witht he Restylane on the sides and on my lips. At first it seemed like too much, now 6 weeks later, I feel like the lip plumping has gone away. My husband says he likes the results, and can tell a difference. I feel like I don't look so angry all the time (like before). I will go back and try it... more
	“Loved It but This Time I Was Prepared” I'm in my 50's and have had botox and restylane three times. I'm very lucky as both lasted for almost a year, but the PAIN! It takes suffering for beauty to a whole new level! I also get bruises that last for six weeks! This time I was prepared. I stopped all aspirin, motrin, ibuprofen, vit E for a week before. I ate healthy, healthy. I started taking bromelain and arnica for three... more
	“Does NOT Last Long, 2 Months Most” I love the results, but it only lasted 2 months. I had my cheeks done, with 2 - 1 ml syringes of Restylane ($450/syringe x 2 = $900). Not worth it. Now I am doing self-injections by buying it from a Canadian drug company. I get the EXACT product, identical to what my doctor used, for only $215/1 ml Syringe of Resty. But it still is expensive if I have to do this every 2 months. more
	“Restalyne is Not What We Hope for” The procedure was not painful not did it make me apprehensive. All I wanted was for these little aging line to fill up and stay looking like normal skin. I was bruised at easch puncture site; tha was ugly and makeup will not cover it up. So no going out for a week or 2. After all had calmed down; well sorry, not a big deal. I just want to be done with these squared off jowels and nothing... more
	“Mixed Results with Restylane” I tried Restylane twice - once in my nasiolabial folds and once in my marionette lines. I would definitely recommend it for NL folds; I had it injected there last year with fantastic results. I didn’t feel a thing and it filled out the lines wonderfully. My marionette lines, on the other hand, didn’t go so well. First of all I should mention that I have chubby cheeks so they are... more
